🤩 Bitcoin's Back on Top: Surges Past $70K
After a brief dip, Bitcoin's making headlines again by zooming past the $70,000 mark. This bounce back is catching everyone's eyes, especially considering the recent chill from a dip in Bitcoin ETFs. Let's dive into what's fueling this comeback.
🛑 End of 7-Week Crypto Inflow Cycle
In a huge shift, last week marked the end of a prolonged period of capital influx into cryptocurrency investment products:
Last week saw over $942 million pulled from crypto investments, halting a 7-week inflow streak.
The retreat followed a record $12.3 billion inflow, slashing total assets under management by $10 billion to $88 billion.
Investor hesitation due to recent price drops led to reduced inflows, notably in new U.S. ETFs.
Bitcoin faced the brunt, with 96% of outflows, while short-bitcoin positions also experienced withdrawals.
Analysts suggest the outflows, particularly in Bitcoin ETFs, were influenced by Genesis's GBTC share sales.
📈 Bitcoin's Dormant Coins Stir: Highest Activity in 2 Years
Bitcoin's Age Consumed metric, tracking the movement of long-inactive coins, has spiked significantly.
Santiment reports a surge to 162.89 million on March 23, marking the highest activity from dormant addresses in over two years. The recent activity surge in Bitcoin's dormant coins suggests more trading and could lead to big price changes.
🥊 Bitcoin's Bullish Breakout: Aiming for New Heights
Bitcoin's recent surge has the crypto world jumping with excitement. After a brief dip below $61,000 and some lukewarm interest in Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin's breaking free from its consolidation pattern hints at a promising uptrend. Here's what's got everyone talking:
Surpassing the 2021 Peak: Bitcoin also crossed the $68,000 mark, a move historically followed by significant rallies.
Central Banks' Dovish Stances: With central banks like the Fed showing a willingness to tolerate higher inflation, Bitcoin could see further gains.
Election Year Surge: Historical data shows Bitcoin typically performs well in U.S. election years, predicting a possible 100%-200% increase in value.
In short, with these factors at play, Bitcoin's path seems set for new all-time highs, potentially reaching up to $83,000 and beyond. As the market adjusts to these developments, all eyes will be on how high Bitcoin can go.
